Abstract

The addition of sterically demanding enolsilanes to alpha-chloro aldehydes results unexpectedly in preferential formation of the anti-PFA product (1,2-syn), while the addition of the corresponding boron enolate furnishes the expected polar Felkin-Anh product (1,2-anti). A stereoinduction model explaining these observations is proposed.
